As political and moral stances grow more divisive, debate changes people’s view of what’s right.
Recommendation
When it comes to political and moral issues, what is right can be blurry. While some believe only one stance can be right, others believe many can have merit. Past studies suggest this difference can affect how people see and debate with each other. But can the way people debate also impact how they perceive an issue? Matthew Fisher and Brent Strickland join professors Joshua Knobe and Frank C. Keil to take readers through their recent study of this question. This article will engage anyone interested in cognitive and behavioral science.
